A volcano on Russia’s Kamchatka Peninsula has erupted for the first time in hundreds of years. The Krasheninnikov volcano sent ash six kilometers into the sky, according to the Kronotsky Reserve, where the volcano is located. The eruption was accompanied by a 7.0-magnitude earthquake and it prompted a tsunami warning for parts of Kamchatka, which was later lifted. Kamchatka’s emergencies ministry reported no ashfall in inhabited areas. This eruption follows an 8.8-magnitude earthquake in Russia’s Far East on Wednesday.
